Turbulent heated flows with asymmetrical mean temperature profiles
Abstract
The present theoretical-experimental study focuses on asymmetric flows undergoing rapid streamwise evolution. To this end, the dynamic and thermal structure in a wake generated by a pair of cylinders which can be heated differentially is examined. Attention is given to the special case where the cylinders are of equal diameter. The different zones of the mean velocity and temperature fields as they undergo streamwise development are defined. In particular, the behavior in the near wake - the region of quasi-similitude - is considered.
